One Beautiful Secret
Chapter 5
Carter ran as fast as he could to the ICU. He stopped only for a brief amount of time to ask a nurse where Abby's room was, since they had given her a private room.
He walked into the room and spotted a chair against the wall so he drug it over to the side of her bed. She looked like she was sleeping.
Her bangs were stuck to her forehead so he moved them back gently. She looked so helpless. She had at least three monitors hooked up to her but at least she was breathing on her own.
Carter closed his eyes thinking of what to say knowing whatever he said it wouldn't matter because she couldn't hear him.
When he opened his eyes again he looked her up and down, she hadn't broken any bones but had fractured her left leg in two places.
"Abby I'm sorry." He told her trying to be strong about this.
He still loved her.
"I'm sorry I left you but please be ok. You have to be." He pleaded with her, his eyes becoming cloudy with tears forming in them.
I don't need a lot of things
I can get by with nothin'
With all the blessings life can bring
I've always needed something
But I've got all I want when it comes to lovin' you
You're my only reason, you're my only truth
He took his cell phone off oh his pants and touched her hand gently.
I need you like water, like breath, like rain
I need you like mercy from Heaven's gate
There's a freedom in your arms, that carries me through
I need you
(whoa-oh)
Then he brought it to his lips and softly kisses it.
You're the hope that moves me
to courage again (oh yeah)
You're the love that rescues me
when the cold winds rage
And it's so amazin' 'cause that's just how you are
and I can't turn back now
'cause you've brought me too far
He wished for the millionth time that he hadn't left her that he had at least stayed one more night with her.
I need you like water, like breath, like rain
I need you like mercy from Heaven's gate
There's a freedom in your arms, that carries me through
I need you
(whoa-oh)
Oh, yes I do, oh
He hoped everything would be ok.
I need you like water, like breath, like rain
I need you like mercy from Heaven's gate,
There's a freedom in your arms, yeah, that carries me through
I need you
Oh, yes I do
I need you
oh, oh, oh
I need you, oh-oh
"You have to wake up Abby. If not for anything else but you little girl." He told her softly putting her hand down.
He got up and had a wet face from tears finding their way down his face. He wiped at his eyes and his face trying to dry them but it was no use, they would still be red.
He knew it had been a mistake leaving her again but if he hadn't Luka would have died.
With that done he turned towards the door and left. He left ICU and didn't notice Luka walking into her room when he left.
Luka had asked a nurse where Abby's room was and was almost there when he saw Carter come out teary-eyed. He didn't smile, didn't frown. He really didn't know what to think about all of this. He kept a mask on, one hiding his worries and fears.
He quietly opened the door to her room and walked in shutting it gently behind him. He looked at the form that lay on the bed and walked over next to her.
He sat in the chair Carter had used just a few minutes ago and took Abby's hand in his.
He frowned and looked her over. She would be in pain when she woke up. He had a lot to tell her, but he wanted to tell her when she woke up. But hew figured why not talk to her anyway?
"Abby. I don't know how to say this." He admitted to himself.
"What happened? Why did you just leave? Why did you Abby?" He pleaded for an answer even though he knew he wouldn't get one.
"Why?" He asked letting tears fall freely now.
"Abby you know I would have supported you know matter what it was." He told the unconscious form on the bed.
"You knew that so why did you leave? Was it because Carter was coming back soon and you couldn't face him? You couldn't tell him?" Luka wondered out loud, his cheeks wet and tears falling from his chin.

"Gracie what's your last name?" Susan asked the little girl in front of her. Maybe she would have the answer she needed to confirm her suspicions.
Gracie thought about that for a moment.
"Where's mommy?" She decided to ask the strange lady.
"She's very sick right now. I need you to tell me your last name though so somebody can look after you." Susan told Gracie faking a smile.
"Do you know my mommy?" Gracie asked.
"Yes we used to work together and be very good friends." She told the curious child.
"Now Gracie what is you last name?" Susan asked again.
"Mommy says I have two names." Gracie said happily.
"Ok sweetie what are they?" Susan asked hoping to get somewhere this time.
"One's Wyzenski and I don't remember the other one. Mommy says I shouldn't use that one. She said to use Wyzenski." Gracie told Susan smiling.
Susan sighed, of course she wouldn't remember. Abby probably didn't ever want to remember it after all.
"That's ok, you wanna go to a play room?" Susan asked hoping to get some answers soon.
"What's your name?" Gracie asked hopping off of the chair she was sitting in.
Susan stood up also.
"You can call me Susan or Aunt Susan." She told Gracie smiling.
Gracie reached up and took Susan's hand.
"Ok Aunt Susan can we go to the play room now?" She seemed to like the idea of calling her Aunt Susan.
"Sure." Susan said leading her to the playroom that they had in the hospital.

Carter was going back to get his cell phone he had left in Abby's room. He stopped at the door when he heard somebody in there.
"Abby. I don't know how to say this." He heard Luka say.
Of course he knew that Luka would protect her, he knew very well that they were still very much friends after they had broken up. Now he wondered what had went on after he sent Luka back here and before he came home.
He listened carefully his ear presses hard against the door. He tried not to move, to now let Luka hear any sounds that would sound like somebody was listening to him.
All he heard was Luka asking Abby why, why she had left. Maybe nothing happened.
He heard Luka crying now. Then he heard something else that made him mad.
"You knew that so why did you leave? Was it because Carter was coming back soon and you couldn't face him? You couldn't tell him?" Luka had said.
So maybe something did happen. He was sure whatever it was Abby would have told Susan. He had to find out what it was. Now he just had to find Susan and hopefully he would find his answer.
*****
Susan had just left the playroom when she saw Carter running towards her. "Susan stop!" He yelled.
By now he must have figured something was up and he probably figured that she must know whatever it was.
She started walking faster down the hall but it was no use.
He caught up with her and she turned to face him.
"Tell me what you know." He said lowly and she could tell he was mad.
"About what?" She asked innocently.
"About Luka and Abby. About whatever happened before I came back." He said a little louder.
I sighed there was not getting out of this. I couldn't lie to him could I? But then again it really wasn't my place to tell him. But I had to, to tell him what happened after he had broken up with her, how bad she felt.
"You know what happened don't you. Cause I'm sure Abby would have told you." Carter said his voice growing louder by the second.
I nodded, he caught me and I couldn't lie.
"Then tell me. Please Susan I have a right to know." He pleaded with her.
"You have a right to know?" I laughed at that and he was a little taken back.
"Ya I guess you should know John. You should know how bad you hurt her after you sent her that letter. But John, you do not have a right to know." And with that said she headed towards the lounge with him staring after her. After a minute he followed her lead.
